Company activities and impact

The company continues to operate and maintain RecipeRadar ( https://www.reciperadar.com ), a free and open source recipe search engine that includes meal planning and shopping list functionality. Traffic to the website that hosts the search engine was strong during the reporting period, particularly during the Summer months and towards November; during both of these, recipe searches per day exceeded two thousand (2,000). The average searches per day throughout the year appears to have been around thirteen hundred (1,300) recipe searches per day. An occurrence of an unrealistically large number of recipe searches related to brussels sprouts, seemingly linked to an unexpectedly large number of click-outs on recipe search results to a destination vegan recipe website, have been filtered out of these statistics because they were deemed to relate to inauthenticate user behaviour. After consulting with a reputable local law firm about the United Kingdom's Online Safety Act, the company implemented during Y2025 the ability for users of the search engine to report problematic content when it appears or is hyperlinked from the recipe search results, alongside the ability for users to provide corrections for recipes, and finally the ability to request removal of recipes for which the individual recipe and/or destination recipe website belongs to the author. No hardware failures occurred during the year, although an additional hard drive with accompany carry-case was acquired by the company director to resupply the company with a single spare primary operating system hard drive. The director attended the OpenFoodFacts annual community conference in Paris in September of Y2025, initially with the intent to lead a session regarding data quality on the OpenFoodFacts platform. As events transpired, he provided support to another attendee and OpenFoodFacts member who hosted the session.
